Elastic Soccer Walkthrough

Elastic Soccer is an entertaining and engrossing online soccer game with fairly basic graphics, a fairly simple premise but a decent challenge that will be sure to please anyone looking for a difficult soccer game. Your goal is simple - score as many points as you can by scoring on your team's net. Actually accomplishing that goal can be a bit more complex. This isn't like most of the other soccer games online. You'll need to pay attention to what's going on if you want to do well. It isn't just a matter of aiming and shooting. This game involves a lot of quick mouse work; requiring you to switch between controlling various players and your goalie. This is going to make things a little difficult for the newcomer to online soccer games, but stick with it. As you play, you'll be able to get the hang of the controls and do well in the game. It just takes a little patience and a lot of practice. Once you get the hang of the controls, you'll have a lot of fun with this one, so don't let yourself get frustrated and don't let yourself quit. It's well worth sticking it out so you can get better.

Elastic Soccer isn't a great game for someone who is easily frustrated, has little patience and is new to online soccer games. The reason for this is simple - this is a difficult game. The controls can be complicated and it can be hard to get control of your players as quickly as you sometimes need to. That will improve as you play. You will get better with time but as you're trying to improve, getting frustrated with yourself or with the game will only want to make you give up. Pay attention to what's happening. If you're getting scored on over and over again, there is something in your strategy that is lacking. Look for what that something is. Learn from the mistakes you are making. There is always a way to correct it. This is not an impossible game and once you understand what you need to do and develop a good strategy, it can actually be quite easy. As you get an understanding for the controls and get better at using the game gets a lot more fun and entertaining but for someone with little patience, that initial struggle can be too much to get through. Beginners willing to stick with the game and learn how to play will be able to do well in the game and will have a lot of fun in the meantime. This isn't a game that's meant to be taken too seriously, much like most of the other soccer games online. Have fun with it. That's what its here for.

The only way to do well in Elastic Soccer is to pay attention to where the ball is at all times and try to figure out where it will end up next. Your opponents aren't really all that sneaky. If one of your opponents has the ball, you can pretty much guess where it will end up. Either they're going to pass it to one of their opponents closer to your goal or they're going to take a shot. Controlling your goalie is fairly easy although some players - beginners and experienced players alike - will have a hard time remembering they need to hold down the 'ctrl' key in order to move the goalie at first. A little experience with the game should cure that problem though. The main difference between this game and most of the other soccer games online is that all of your players are stationary except for the goalie. You can move your goalie up and down in the crease, but your other players will stay still. This can make the game a bit more difficult in the beginning as it can be hard to figure out when you should try to use a player but you'll get the hang of it. If you're not sure if the player closest to the ball is close enough to get the ball click him and give it a try. Trial and error may not work well in other games but it can be of great benefit in this one. Finally, make sure your finger is ready on the 'ctrl' key at all times. The other team can get the ball and take a shot any time throughout the game. Make sure you're ready. Alternatively, make sure you don't focus entirely on defending your net. You need to shoot on the other team's goalie as well or you'll never get anywhere in the game.

Overall, Elastic Soccer is an excellent soccer game for anyone looking for a decent challenge. It may take a little while to get used to how the game is played but once you do, you'll have a great time with this one. Despite rather basic graphics and a basic premise, this game is quite addictive and will keep you coming back for more game after game - as long as you can avoid getting too frustrated to keep playing. Even is frustration does creep in and your find yourself giving up, don't be surprised if you find yourself going back for more not long after you call it quits. This soccer game has a way of drawing you in and keeping you entertained even if it's also making you angry. Perhaps that's what makes it so addictive. Regardless, if you like soccer games or are interested in the genre, this is a game you need to play. Even if you don't keep going and decide it's not the game for you, it's definitely worth at least a play or two.
